Is somewhere good tutorial how to enhance pure DOS HDD / SDD performance on modern PATA / SATA controllers / devices?
I always lived with no DMA - 2 MB/s, i find some driver on Rayers pages i tried it with my X58 machine, but i never was able to make it working. But would like to learn this.
Now i have some Super Socket 7 Cyrix machine and copy something which can be done in windows 98 in 2 times, take tens of minutes, yes im using some slimer 3GB HDD, but its still too slow even for it..
BTW it there good SMART utility for DOS or Windows 98? Something like Crystal Disk info for modern OSes?
Rayer has at least good testing utility RawCopy to test speed.
I never liked SmartDrive, its eating too much memory and i thing that its old and there better alternatives.
Im old goal oriented goatman, i care about facts and freedom, not about egos+prejudices. Hoarding=sickness. If you want respect, gain it by your behavior. I hate stupid SW limits, SW=virtual world, everything should be possible if you have enough raw HW.
